This accident happened a few years ago. The customer reached out once but figured he’d price shop, try and order a new door. There were 6 months out. I’ll try and find a used door. These were all the things I heard for three weeks before I finally said, “Bring me the door and I’ll look at it.”
He insisted it wasn’t savable.

He brings me the door. I look it over and told him I’d give it a try.
He grinned knowing he was right.

…He was wrong. 😉

Figure (A) is an example of a beautiful car. Well built.

I’m only sharing it as a lesson to why Body and Paint is so expensive.

It takes hours, weeks, months to dial in a car/truck. I had the same year Corvette as Figure A in my shop a year ago. The customer insisted on perfect gaps, sharpe lines, and flat panels on a car that isn’t flat.

Not posted in these photos are everything you have to test fit along the way. From Chrome bumpers, to window channels.
It’s never made sense to me to spend money on a complete paint job and have panels or parts so close together that will eventually chip.

There’s few different levels to Body & Paint.

We took this ‘55 Nomad in awhile back. One of the things on my list was giving the engine proper air. So I built a simple air box, trim ring, and intake tube all out of Aluminum.

Few more things and It’ll be ready for paint.

Got this sweet ‘55 Nomad in the shop.

First order of business is to get her back running. Before we move onto a list of unfinished/ loose ends.

Awhile back I got a ‘63 Corvette that’s being built by . Ready for the body shop. Which means test fit everything countless times.

As luck would have it. First piece I grab to set in place and it’s warped. 😜
I carefully massaged it back into place. Filed and blocked.

Handling rust repair on this 1976 F250 SuperCab. All Supercabs are known to rot out the lower cab corners due to the leaking windows. I ordered the replacement panel’s from . Once they’re all fitted, trimmed, I’ll fully weld them in.

Good Morning!
After a handful of conversations with friends in the industry. I’ve admitted my social media has been weak. I struggle with it, but I’ll work on getting better. Thank you for your continued support. It means more than you know!
